Purity of a Child!
As we mature in age, we lose the innocence of a child for various reasons. A child knows how to instantly love, trust easily, feels intimate with others free from restrains, simply makes friends, share his/her toys and act spontaneously as he/she almost fear nothing. This purity we all adore yet, we don't keep or maintain! Why?! The scene of this world is changing rapidly and we're losing valuable attributes for unusual reasons.
When focusing on spirituality and learning nature's language, we can keep that pure child alive while is protected by the adulthood’s experience gained throughout the years. Why not carry ourselves as children in hearts and think, plan and decide as adults using the gained experience and wisdom?!
Childhood period is the foundation in each of us for future use that sometime works as dictionary to refreshes the inner purity and lighten up the burden was added in adulthood. As we grow and experience many situations in life good or bad, can accommodate many layers of dust over the number of years that cover what we had gained or had in childhood.
Meditating on matters and on the universe, can shake off the layers of dust but will it shake it all together? Certainly, hard work is required. We need to rewind the past years sometimes to realize what has been missed and bring it back to the lively surface! I believe that with continuous and sincere efforts, we can shake off those many layers of dust and rust to shin back to the purity of childhood adorned with adult maturity. Beautiful qualities should not be lost in the crowded world.
My best mediation time is when I paint with no equivalent, when I go for walks in nature/woods, as well when I fly and look from the plan on the whole universe, I wonder how the CREATOR is viewing us and our shortcomings, what is worth and what is not, what is the value of us if we do not have love for one another.
Artists can achieve a return to the creative intuitive aspect by negating reality through elimination of prejudices. They open their minds by casting aside years of instinctive perceptions and come to realize that nationalism should not exist. In general, Artists act spontaneously and excitingly when meet at first time in an exhibition, why? I believe that we were created on God's image holding partially his main qualities such as love, purity and the natural realization; we call it sometimes, intuition/instinct which children use naturally, while adults eliminate or avoid such feelings and get immersed with material approaches. Over the time, they lose what was valuable in childhood.
The value of keeping the beauty of a child in us will strengthen relationships, trust and love among us all.
There is a great satisfaction experiencing the above while painting. It is one of my main reasons why I love to paint where I live my world of peace, of love and of purity.
